43 per cent of 9-1-1 calls are not emergencies
During 9-1-1 Awareness Week, we recognize our first responders — emergency communicators, Fire, Police and Paramedics — for saving lives and helping residents in immediate need. We are also reminding Peel residents to call 9-1-1 only for emergencies.
In 2023, just over 900,000 calls or nearly half of all calls to 9-1-1 were for non-emergencies. They were misuse, hang-ups, short duration (accidents) or test calls to the 9-1-1 system. These calls take up valuable time and resources and can potentially prevent first responders from attending to real emergencies.
Call 9-1-1 only when someone needs immediate help from Paramedics, Police and Fire. To prevent accidental calls, lock your cell phones and do not program 9-1-1 into your phones. In addition, teach children how to use 9-1-1 correctly and how to recognize an emergency.
Call these numbers for non-emergencies

The Region of Peel Public Works department regularly maintains and repairs the water system to make sure you have a consistent supply of quality drinking water. Sometimes we must turn off your water supply while we do this work.
Your water will be turned off on Tuesday, April 9th, from approximately 8:30 am to 5:00 pm. If we need to reschedule this work due to weather or other circumstances, we will let you know the new date and time.
If this interruption may affect an alarm or maintenance company, it is your responsibility to notify them. During the time that the water supply is interrupted, the building’s sprinkler protection system will not function. A fire watch should be performed as necessary during time period.
After the water interruption:
When we turn the water back on, air in the pipes may make the water cloudy and your plumbing may vibrate or make noise. We recommend removing the air by slowly turning on your taps from the lowest to the highest faucet in the building (that is, starting in the basement/first floor and finishing on the top floor). Flush the toilets as well. You will likely need to run the water for 10 to 30 seconds. Run the water until it is clear, and any vibration or noise has stopped.
Important note: After the water is turned back on, we recommend checking your water meter (usually located in the basement). If it is leaking, call Water Meter Installations Dispatch at:
New Future Directions plans for Culture, Recreation, Parks, Forestry & Environment, Library and Fire & Emergency Services were approved by Council.
Mississauga’s Future Directions plans help guide decision-making for various community services. Using valuable feedback, demographic information and user data, the City develops plans that address infrastructure and service delivery needs. These long-range plans align with Council priorities and investigate innovative and unique opportunities to enhance existing facilities, as well as programs and services.
“In its 50th year, Mississauga has grown into a vibrant city with a reputation for delivering high quality programs and services to residents,” said Jodi Robillos, Commissioner, Community Services. “We’ve received valuable feedback from residents, and we’re committed to making improvements to our many programs and services to ensure we continue to deliver them at the level residents expect, while at the same time adapting our offerings to meet the needs of a growing and changing community. We’ve listened to residents and customers and we’re making changes.”
Public engagement is an important part of the City’s work on our Future Directions plans. More than 7,000 survey responses helped to inform the draft plans; and a second survey issued after the draft plans were released garnered another 10,900 responses. This level of input from residents, community groups, user groups and other interested parties, combined with other relevant data, and research plays a role in guiding City actions and priorities for the next five to 10 years.
With strategic priorities in mind, there are some notable recommendations mentioned in the Future Directions plans, such as:
Robillos added, “A lot has changed since our last cycle of Future Directions, making these plans more reflective of current life and the demographic in Mississauga. It was essential to get detailed feedback, opinions, and questions from local community members to help shape our future operations. It’s important that residents have access to programs and services in their community that allow them to thrive, in a healthy and sustainable environment.”
The 2024 Future Directions plans build on the work completed since 2019 and identify new recommendations for how the City can advance its strategic priorities for supporting growth and sustainability, while maintaining its strong commitment to Reconciliation, equity, diversity and inclusion.
About Future Directions:
Future Directions is a planning process undertaken every five years to guide Library, Parks, Forestry & Environment, Recreation, Culture and Fire & Emergency Services. These plans focus on concrete actions that the City will undertake to maintain Mississauga residents’ high quality of life.

The City is getting a new transportation option – a shared system of e-bikes and e-scooters that residents can rent to move around Mississauga.
Micro-mobility is a form of travel using a lightweight device powered by your own body or electricity. For a fee, users will be able to rent e-bikes and e-scooters to get around the city. Users will have the flexibility to park their device with flexibility at a bike rack or another designated location closest to their destination.
“We’re excited to be partnering with Lime Technology, Inc. and Bird Canada to offer e-scooters and e-bikes in Mississauga, creating a shared micro-mobility system for residents,” said Geoff Wright, Commissioner, Transportation and Works. “Having a shared system of e-bikes and e-scooters was a recommendation in our Transportation Master Plan and also supports our work on climate change to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Along with walking, biking and taking MiWay, residents now have even more ways to get around our city sustainably.”
Both partners will be providing pedal-assist e-bikes and e-scooters. Devices will be programmed with:
The City has approved a three-year contract with Lime Technology, Inc. and Bird Canada. The program will be rolling out this summer.
More information on how to rent and the cost of renting a device will be available closer to the program launch.

In October 2019, Council supported the recommendation for City staff to look at how a program of shared bikes, e-bikes or e-scooters could be used for travel in Mississauga as part of a Micro-Mobility Program Development Project. Following extensive analysis and community and stakeholder consultation in June 2022, Council approved a recommendation to develop a shared micro-mobility program that offers e-bikes and e-scooters. In October 2023, staff brought a report to General Committee providing an update on the Shared Micro-mobility Program and recommending that a hybrid docked and dockless, privately owned and operated system of e-bikes and e-scooters be implemented in 2024.

To create the Port Credit Storm Drainage Master Plan, the City is completing a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment Study. Through the study, the City is looking to address potential drainage system issues within Port Credit. It will also assess the impacts of infill and intensification development and climate change in the study areas.
The City has uploaded the second and final Public Information Centre for the Port Credit Storm Drainage Master Plan. The video can be found online at Port Credit Storm Drainage Master Plan – City of Mississauga
Comments about flooding and drainage issues can be shared with staff from March 20 to April 10, 2024. To submit your feedback, complete the comment form available on the website and email it to muneef.ahmad@mississauga.ca by April 10. Include the date it occurred and any photos of the flooding.
Starting April 1, 2024, Peel Region water bills will look different and the way the community is charged for water and wastewater will change.
Peel Region completed a multi-year financial planning process that included: reviews of industry best practices, community engagement, an examination into the costs to serve the community and extensive financial analysis. The result is a modernization of the billing process that supports bill predictability, increased customer understanding and equity, including:
Peel continues to research and make recommendations to improve systems, technology, and customer experience.
New rate structure
Starting April 1, instead of a single water consumption charge, customer bills will have two parts: a service delivery charge and a consumption charge. Peel is not collecting more overall revenue. Using a service delivery charge to cover fixed costs means the consumption charge will now be lower.
The service delivery charge supports the more than 80% in fixed costs needed to bring water to homes and businesses and to collect and treat wastewater, such as: staff required to maintain pipes and treatment plants, meter reading and billing costs, chemicals needed to provide clean, safe water, and much more.
Water rate charges
Single-unit residential customers will now have a water rate with two levels.
Multi-unit residential customers will continue to have one water rate.
Businesses (industrial, commercial, and institutional) customers will continue to have one water rate.
Wastewater charges
Wastewater billing was also reviewed as part of the financial planning process. Charging for wastewater based on the amount of water used remains the industry standard.
For additional information on the changes, 2024 water and wastewater rates, as well as the programs introduced to support a modernized billing process, visit peelregion.ca/water/billing.
